So what about CMTM4? I have 2019 and haven't tried CMTM yet. I developed a system called RTS for Run8 that ran the last decade in version 1. I decided not to update it for Version 2.
From what I can see reading the manual CMTM4 will basically just go through a preset list of destinations or movements, and it will be the same every time you get to that day of the week. I haven't seen a place where demand gets randomized. So basically it calls each one in order.
With RTS I used a similar record system but developed a seeded random number generator that pulled waybills based on varying demands within limits. From there is took the XML file that Run8 uses to define a consist. I then calculated what values and arrays would go into the table and rewrote the train XML file (consist). I'm wondering if CMTM4 still works with 2019, if it's possible for me to create a random script generator that makes each session variable (though within familiar limits as complex or as simple as you want it).
I'd love to hear what some of the Trainz veterans can share with me. Would love to see a tutorial or youtube video of this in action as well.
From what I can tell the only way of adding random factors is when you make a car available from the empty car pool. Otherwise the bridge traffic simply a series of records. I do love the interface of this, and hopefully this still works in 2019. I haven't tried to download it as I'd like to know for sure before moving forward.

Sean,So here is a dumb question. In 2019 where do I find all these config.txt files? I read the manual, even with an IT background wasn't very intuitive. It described in detail how to lay out the file structure, comma delimited, etc. which I'm fine with including using Excel to read or even write them.
But when it comes into this whole editing the HTML I'm totally lost. config.txt I did a search on my hard drive and found very few if any. I did encounter one faulty issue with one of the recommended add on for (CMTM Portal 4).
On the positive side if I can ever figure out where to find these files to edit or what to add where, then I'm going to have a hayday in Excel. Excel or open office (heck even Google Sheets) can do wonders for changing things up pretty easily. I just got to get by these little basic things I have yet to figure out in Trainz.
Thanks
Sean
